Jan! Thank you! Does it sounds wordy? Things up to this point may sound complicated, but Itell you it's fun stuff!The hard part is laying the gold leaf. It's thinner than a human hair! So handling it ismaticulas! But again, it's fun! Gilding is no tuffer than BBQing a burger!Thanks for watching these posts Jan! I appreciate your support!

Kaylyn! Correct! You don't want to eat the clayhowever, it is not poisonous, it's only refinedearth, so I guess there are minerals that might be good for you, but they have suppliments for that! (ha) thanks for stopping by!
